Brian Flores, Jerod Mayo named potential Joe Woods replacements

Two high-profile names have already come to light for the Browns.

The Cleveland Browns made it official this morning, relieving defensive coordinator Joe Woods of his duties after a year where he fielded the worst run defense in football. His fate was sealed against the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday. They now seek out a new defensive coordinator who can take a unit with too much talent and get them to maximize it. And according to ESPN’s Kimberley Martin, who is known to have ties to general manager Andrew Berry, the Browns are targeting two high-profile candidates in Brian Flores and Jerod Mayo.

Here we take a look at both Flores and Mayo and what makes them good candidates.
